RETURNING FOREIGN PAUpERs,

The filming of the Cunarder CephalOnia

tho Alien Commissioner at Boston, until the
old demcnted pauper she brought over and
landed is put on board again, Is no doubt a
rigorous proceeding, but not without warrant
The practice of bringing to this country the
most useless and undesirable elements Of for
eign paupcrism has been followed to such
lengths that 1t has become necessary to stop
it by enforcing the law sharply.
A crazy pauper offers a fair opportunity
for drawing tho line, for there can be no
excuse for importing such persons, and
1t Is perfectly obvious that the only mo-
two for putting the poor creaure on the
Cephalonia was TO foist her upon tho
United States. The British Government, while
engaged in multiplying paupers in Ireland,
must be made to understand that the caro- OF
them devolvcs upon it, and cannot be shout
dcrcd on TO this country. The presumption
is that one or two lessons will suffice to instruct
the steamship companies in the premises, but

GOLDWIN SMITH ON RECIPROCITY.


Professor Goodwin Smith is greatly con
cerned by the attitude Of certain American
journals respecting commercial union with
Canada. In an article contrib uted to The
American" he urges that it Is a fatal mistake
to suppose that the Dominion can be forced
into union by stress Of commercial need. He
warns the United States that Canada would
be political Poland, a perpetual focus Of
dsaffection and discord, if by force Of arms
or by unfrieadly pressure Of any kind IL were
dragged into union under which it would
sacrifice its own independence and liberties.
He believes that some day the English speak
ing race on this continent will become one
people, but not by annexation-a term he
abhors-but by mutual attraction; and he
deIrecates a premature confounding of poht-
ical and commercial questions.
1t Is. almost unnecessary to assure the con
trOversial Professor that there is no American
statesman or politician, party or journal. that
has the remotest desire to drag the Canadian
Provinces into the Union and then to deprive
them of their political liberties. Ireland Is
a better example than Poland of the wicked
ness and folly of enforced union without full
and adequate privileges Of homo rule. Eng
lands commercial and economic system has
proved ruinous to every industry Of the island .
and for hundred years Dublin has been a
centre Of disaffection, agitation and discord
because Irish liberties and independence have
been wantonly sacrificed. With this warning
before their eyes Americans will never seek
to draw Canada by force or pressure of any
kind into q union similar TO that which exists
between England and Ireland II union ever
be effected, IL will be without solicitation or
compulsion, and solely as the result of mutual
attraction. Every Province shall have alb
soute home rule and legislative independence
guaranteed to ii as an American State and
Canadian industries will not be weakened and
destroyed, but protected and put in the way
Of prosperity.
Until this political result can be consum-
mated, Americans viii take strictly business
view of such questions Us commercial reel
procity. Professor Smith admits what is
patent TO them. namely, that tho oh clifton
of Custom Houses would be relatively Of
greater advantage 10 Canada than to the
United States, since the former is tho poorer
country and the one tn greater mood Of an
extended market. Why should the Provinces
BIO allowed 30 enjoy oil the commercial priv
lloges Of being States Of the Union when they
are colonial possessions Of Great Britain 7

business bargain with Canada from motives
